Panel Discussion:
How Becoming an Author Changed My Life
Hosted by Dallas Woodburn, author & book coach, who is joined by:
Leslie McElroy - Romance Novelist
Sasha Collins - Memoir Author
Nik Nicole - Novelist & Children's Book Author
In this inspiring panel discussion, three successful authors pull back the curtain on their publishing journeys to share what they learned, what most surprised them, and how becoming an author changed their lives. Yes, the moment we first hold our published book in our hands is unforgettable -- but the impact of becoming an author is far bigger than that. Listen in to these women share how becoming an author was truly transformative.

About Leslie
Leslie McElroy is the proud indie author of the Dallas Storm hockey series and the swoony and spicy standalone rom-com novels The Expiration Date, Together With You and Stuck With Me.

She loves to create stories full of swoony men, emotional stakes, unforgettable chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments and grand gestures that will make readers kick their feet and smile. Leslie’s books are for the hopeless romantics who believe in the power of love, even when it isn’t perfect. Her love for romantic comedies and the beauty of human connection through the art of storytelling help craft her voice and develop a lovable cast of characters, who she hopes leave a lasting impression on readers' hearts
